    摘要: In a method of controlling at least one autonomously driven vehicle, such a vehicle is driven on a restricted traffic surface. For this purpose, the autonomous vehicle has a driving device for implementing driving commands on the basis of fed signals. The driving commands relate to the driving direction as well as to the driving speed. The vehicle detects its actual position by means of a position indicating device, and transmits its position to an operations management center. In the operations management center, a route profile to be driven is determined from position signals by means of definable criteria and is transmitted to the driving device of the vehicle. Driving commands required for driving the route profile are generated in the vehicle by the driving device.

    摘要: Many day-to-day driving situations require that an operator of a motor vehicle guide the motor vehicle along a specific course and bring the vehicle to a stop at a specific location, for example in a parking bay or at a loading platform. To assist a vehicle operator in such situations, a method and a suitable device for implementing this method, include detecting the potential target objects in the image data of an image sensor and identifying the potential target objects as potential destinations in a multi-stage exclusionary method, whereupon a trajectory describing an optimized travel path is computed at least in relation to the most proximate destination. By using the multi-stage exclusionary method according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably identify potential destinations in complex image scenarios solely on the basis of their geometric form, even when the destinations have not been encoded by specific symbols.

    摘要: The device according to the invention relates to a device for evaluating and/or influencing a vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior. For this purpose, the device has the following means: operator control means (10) with which the driver can generate predefined values (VG) for influencing at least one vehicle movement variable. Evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) with which the behavior of a vehicle movement variable with respect to a predefined value is evaluated, and/or with which the vehicle movement behavior is evaluated with respect to a predefined vehicle movement behavior as a function of vehicle movement variables and/or of variables which represent the surroundings of the vehicle. These evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) can be operated in at least two different operating states, only an information item (OHAx) relating to the behavior of the vehicle movement variable and/or relating to the vehicle movement behavior being made available to the driver in a first operating state as a function of the result of the evaluation which is carried out, and output signals (AGSx) for influencing a vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior independently of the driver being determined in a second operating state as a function of the result of the evaluation which is carried out. In addition, the device has influencing means (40) by means of which the driver can switch over the evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) between the at least two operating states. There is also provision of processing means (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) with which actuation signals (ASSx) for actuating actuators (26, 28, 30) which are arranged in the vehicle are generated on the basis of the predefined values (VG) which are generated by the driver and/or, if the evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) are operated in the second operating state, on the basis of the output signals (AGSx). The actuation of the actuator (26, 28, 30) influences the vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior.

    摘要: Internal combustion engines, which have an exhaust-gas turbocharger that possesses an adjustable turbine geometry, include a waste-gate bypass. When a valve controlling the waste-gate bypass malfunctions, the pressure in the intake-system branch and the exhaust-system branch may increase to an undesirably high level, which may result in component parts being damaged. To prevent this in an internal combustion engine having an exhaust-gas turbocharger, a pressure sensor is provided, which determines the pressure in or upstream from the turbine and transmits it to an electronic control unit. When the control unit determines that a preselected limiting value of the pressure has been exceeded, the turbine geometry is modified so that the turbine may be prevented from being damaged. This arrangement is provided for internal combustion engines, which have an exhaust-gas turbocharger and are equipped with, in particular, an engine-braking device.

    摘要: The invention relates to a control system (1) for a vehicle provided with an electronically controlled drive train (2) which comprises a steering system (6), a braking system (7) and a transmission unit (4). An operating unit (10) generates a motion vector (BV) based on a driver's wish (FW), from which control signals (SS) are generated by a control unit (12) for controlling the drive train (2). In order to simplify maneuvering, more particularly reversing, a trajectory calculator (13) is provided, said trajectory calculator calculating the trajectory of movement for the situation and position of the vehicle (3) on the basis of actual values that are detected by a status and position determining device (14) and on the basis of set values that can be inputted by means of a target input device (15). The trajectory of movement consists of a sequence of motion vectors (BV), which move the vehicle from its actual status and actual position to the set status and set position when the drive train (2) executes the motion vectors (BV) of the trajectory of movement. For said purpose, the trajectory calculator (13) is coupled to the operating unit (10) and additionally to the control unit (12) by means of a common drive train interface (11) for transmitting the motion vectors (BV).

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for early detection and prediction of damage to assemblies in machine plants, including mobile machine plants, structure-borne sound of the machine system is sensed by a sensor, output as an acceleration signal and analyzed in a digital signal processor. For this purpose, the acceleration signal is first transformed into the frequency domain by means of a fast-Fourier transformation, and the data obtained in this manner are then transformed back into the time domain by means of cepstrum analysis, so that resonance data relating to individual shock pulses (a cepstrum) is obtained in the time domain. This cepstrum is then compared with a reference cepstrum that is selected in accordance with load signals and rotational speed signals for the present operating state in a new machine plant in a storage device. When limiting values are exceeded, the diagnostic signal (in particular information relating to the assembly which is diagnosed as damaged and its predicted remaining service life) are displayed for the user and an emergency operating mode is initiated.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device and a method for the early detection and prediction of damage to assemblies in machine plants, in particular also to mobile machine plants. For this purpose, the structure-borne sound of the machine system is sensed by a sensor (1) and output as an acceleration signal and analyzed in a digital signal processor (DSP). In this context, in order to avoid negative influences of ambient vibrations or structure-borne sounds which are not associated with the state of the machine plant, the acceleration signal is firstly transformed into the frequency domain by means of a fast-Fourier transformation, and the data obtained in this way is then transformed again into the time domain by means of cepstrum analysis so that resonance data relating to individual shock pulses (a cepstrum) is obtained in the time domain. This cepstrum is then compared with a comparison cepstrum which is available in accordance with load signals and rotational speed signals for the present operating state in a new machine plant in a storage device. When limiting values are exceeded, the diagnostic signal, in particular information relating to the assembly which is diagnosed as damaged and its predicted remaining service life, are displayed for the user and an emergency operating mode is initiated.
